Q 6 - What other topics would you like to see covered in a pre-conference workshop format at a future Inspiring Practices conference? Supporting Transfer/Adult Learner Needs Admission Criteria, moving beyond test scores I marked "dissatisfied" because we did not cover the majority of the content that was on the slides/handouts. If this workshop was facilitated differently, I would want it to be repeated. Otherwise I don't have ideas for other topics. Collaboration between faculty & academic support staff Gateway mathematics course challenges and recommendations Best practices in engaging/retaining students who are academically at-risk when they enter college. I am using this space to provide feedback on the preconference on transfer and the social justice imperative. I was very dissatisfied with the preconference because time was not devoted to the content that was advertised. I felt really bad for the second presenter who had the expertise in social justice, because he was given very, very little time to cover his content. This was a real shame. I think the topic is important, and would encourage offering it again, but the delivery of the preconference needs to be focused on the important social justice content.

Q 6 - What other topics would you like to see covered in a pre-conference workshop format at a future Inspiring Practices conference? How to get all the faculty to be more engaged in retention. More hands on information about research regarding why black students don't so as well in lecture formats and how to work with faculty on changing teacching practices accordingly and in basic and more advanced contents. . Keeping energy up in the face of resistance. I would like to see something that pertains to the adult non-traditional student population. The topic is very important - the delivery did not match the topic.

Q 12 - Is there an alternative time of the year that would work better for you? It was right around the dates of OHAAA & NACADA, so it was hard to rationalize being out of the office three weeks in a row. Mabye the late fall? February/March is difficult because other national conferences happen around the same time. n/a February was a great time of year for the conference, although the risk of heavy snow is still worrisome (even though it didn't happen this year) Late April N/A Summer—June or July Anytime September-March. Not Particularly. Perhaps late fall. May

Q 12 - Is there an alternative time of the year that would work better for you? No summer No No summer A bit warmer weather, like April. One suggestion may be to offer it in early summer (late may or early June) after most Universitites have wrapped up the academic year. No. Spring time, so we have time to plan for changes made over the summer. Summer

Q 23 - Do you have suggestions for future plenary speakers? Don't try to take questions at the end of the speech. keep making local connections to national conversations Diversity, equity, and inclusion topic Marcia Ballinger, President of Lorain County Community College Jose Antonio Bowden The only suggestion is that the lunch speaker was also the speaker at the pre-conference workshop I went to therefore the lunch speech was mostly the same information. Vincent Tinto John Fink, Community College Research Center they were great choice of mixed groups The plenary - like this year should be tied to the conference theme. Author Daniel Pink, just listened to his book "When" and see many applications for our work.

Q 24 - Are there any specific Ohio Higher Education associations or stakeholders we should connect with in the future? Ohio League for Nursing NAFSA Region VI- international ed OHAAA, NACADA REGION 5 Ohio College Learning Center Association Unsure SOCHE One of the presentations that I went to was discussing the challenges they face in the classroom because they are finding that there students are younger and younger, due to College Credt Plus. I think that it would be beneficial to include high school stakeholders that have students that are taking college courses so that there can be learning on both ends of how to address the CCP population so that these students are successful and the teachers (in college learn how to "teach" a different generation of students). Perhaps OH-AHEAD (Ohio Association of Higher Education and Disability) GLACUHO

Q 24 - Are there any specific Ohio Higher Education associations or stakeholders we should connect with in the future? CCP No Ohio Transfer Council teaching groups? More presidents and provosts AICUO for independent/private school topics Ohio Department of Education because K-12 students are the future college/university students. your choice was great There should be a clearer target audience and presentations - felt the topics were missrepresented in Conf. materials. OHAAA (Ohio Academic Advising Assoc), Ohio Transfer Council

Q 24 - Are there any specific Ohio Higher Education associations or stakeholders we should connect with in the future? Yes, the Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) should definitely be involved in some way. Over the years, many library positions have been created with outreach, programming, and even student success in their titles. This would be a great opportunity to discuss more collaborative measures initiated by the library community to support student success. PROMIG (Programming, Outreach, and Marketing Interest Group) is dedicated to building a community of practice among Ohio librarians with a focus on student success, engagement, and retention through programming and campus partnerships. This Interest Group is part of ALAO.

Q 27 - Please share additional suggestions for future Inspiring Practices events. I really appreciated the friendly and welcoming environment. I wish there had been reliable Wifi access. I was disappointed with the number of sessions that spent 10 -15 minutes presenting and the rest of the time brainstorming - in many cases this felt like the presentation was designed to benefit the presenters, rather than the audience. I appreciated there were a wide variety of presentation topics and institutions represented. Too many presentations in one day. To clarify an earlier comment, Capital was a great venue in terms of parking, the welcoming nature of students, and the distance in between events. What could be improved upon would be (1) having participants indicate interest in particular sessions before time in order to adequately plan for locations that will accommodate the audience and (2) allowing more time in between sessions for travel, bathroom breaks, reflection, conversation, etc. The rooms were too small for many of the presentations. It also got very hot and uncomfortable. Perhaps limit attendance in rooms based on capacity or move to overall larger rooms. Assessment practices in student affairs interests me Communication about the conference and its details assumes that conference participants have participated before. There were many details that I had to inquire about as a first time participant. I suggest assuming that all participants are "new" and provide information from that perspective.

Q 27 - Please share additional suggestions for future Inspiring Practices events. N/A I thought the implementation of the event was quite well. I was impressed with the campus and the organization of the event. I felt very welcomed. More time is needed to move from one presentation site to another. It would be good to develop "tracks" so attendees can find sessions that may be more focused on their role/need. i. e. faculty development, assessment, intervention, enrollment, etc People should look professional for their presentation - some looked like grad students I think as suggested above - clarity between what the conference is delivering and its applicability to the audience. Several sessions did not really address the topics listed. It felt like a prolonged advertisement for the Gartner Fellows program rather then a learning engagement experience. Thank you for allowing me to register for just the pre-conf workshop. While the presentations were all very good, it seemed that the time block was a little too short. I also think it would be a good idea to plan to end the conference a little earlier. Many people had to leave before it ended due to work, personal or travel reasons. Since many are commuting to the conference, I think it would be better to have it end earlier. If there were only two breakout session blocks in the morning and in the afternoon, it would allow for a little longer presentation times but then also an earlier end time.

If yes, please provide a quote, and, if you wish, your name and institution. This conference had several beneficial sessions to my area of student success.
